The mystery is over!!!

Just a few minutes ago I put the finishing stitches in 'the mystery project' that I have been teasing you with over the past while.   A number of you tried to guess and nobody 'got it' and I'm sure you are going to be quite disappointed when you see what it actually is!

TAH DAH!!!


Finished measurement approx. 33 x 24"
(the brown around the outside in the photo is the carpet on the floor)



Another quote from an unknown source..."Wrinkles mean you laughed, grey hair means you cared and scars mean you lived"

  9. Disappointed? No way! That is terrific. I didn't even try to guess, but if I had I don't think I'd have come up with this. I love that you kept it a mystery until it was finished!!! The leaves are wonderful, too! Someone above asked how large this is. I'm curious as well.

  10. What a gorgeous butterfly! Disappointed? No way!! In fact, I probably got a new wrinkle from the smile that spread across my face when I first saw it. Beautiful work, Mary Anne!

  11. Yup, never thought it might be a butterfly. It's so pretty. More great links from you. The first one was one of those Why Didn't I Think Of That moments.
